and now a dumb question:

i am located at the GMT time zone.
every day i take the pill at midday (12 am).
by the end ov january i will be staying a few days in Portland which will kick me 8 hours back on the clock.
i wear a wristwatch with two time zones...is it that simple, that i just start taking the pill by the time indicated by my GMT time zome, or do i have to make some kind ov acrobacy? can this affect the effect ov the pill? any clues?
thanks in advance!!

Going by your usual GMT time should be fine, since you'll still be taking it by your biological clock's time. I must say, seeing the picture of a nun next to a post about birth control is a bit, um . . . unexpected. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? ::winks::

i assume you actually mean 12pm (noon) by midday. if you will be on the *same* pill pack, keep taking your pill at the same time GMT, if that won't mess up your sleep schedule. however, taking the pill at 4am portland time might not make you too happy.

if you'll be having your period between now and then and will be starting a new pillpack, i'd suggest just choosing a new time for that pack-- three or four pm, GMT. that would put you at 8 or 9am portland time.

if you do, indeed, take your pill at 12am (midnight), just keep taking it at 12am GMT (4pm in portland), since you'll likely be awake.

(by the 8 hours' difference, I assume it's Portland, Oregon, USA, rather than, say, Maine -- or the one in Victoria, Australia. ;)

yes, but i don't pay attention to the name for the time zone for you left coasters, so i'll just settle for GMT-8 or portland time.

it's late, i'm tired, you're going to end up with trousers full of pringles if you don't stop winking at me. ;)
